If you're looking for a soupless Top Ramen for tired, famished, or imbibing grown-ups who can afford the better ingredients than college kids staving off starvation, say no more. The Chinchikurin okonomiyaki will deliver.
I love the Hiroshima, love every bite of the chewy pressed fried squid, which despite bilateral breading, is pressed paper-thin. I love how its contrasting chewy almost-jerky texture contrasts the soft noodles and fluffy egg. The bed of cabbage is in balancing the mound of carbs.
The B&C, basil and cheese gets an easy A. The basil. Is everything. The cheese brings the crumbly salt and the fragrant basil is intoxicating. It’s infused into the omelet, it skims the pork and noodles, and it sinks deepdeepdeep into the crumbles of cheese.
“Omelet” doesn’t quite cover it. "It's like putting an omelet on a pepperoni pizza and calling it an omelet," in the words of my husband. He's the writer. The real writer, obv and he's write on (because I can't let him tell all the dad jokes). The okonomiyaki is a meal on a single grill and more than one if you weigh less than 500 pounds. And have no doubt, it'll be the best three-in-one meals you have all week.
